You can calculate the speeds by using the following.....

66 mph in 1st gear. The gear ratios are as follows:

First Gear Ratio (:1) 2.29 66mph
Second Gear Ratio (:1) 1.61
Third Gear Ratio (:1) 1.21
Fourth Gear Ratio (:1) 1.00
Fifth Gear Ratio (:1) 0.81
Sixth Gear Ratio (:1) 0.67
Reverse Ratio (:1) 3.11
Clutch Size N/A in
Final Drive Axle Ratio (:1) 3.42

it's a little variable of course... more focused on driving than speed at shift... but here's what i've roughly observed.

64 mph 1st.
95 mph 2nd.
127 mph 3rd.
151 mph 4th (this is pretty solid as i hit this on one of the straights at buttonwillow and didn't bother to upshift for the last bit of straight)
i have to guess 175 for 5th. on this run i short shifted a little around 170... but was fairly close to redline... again, paying even less attention to the guages and more to driving.

with the stock limiter it will hit like 152 in 4th and in 5th it will reach about 182 or so on HUD.
